Iraq, Kuwait To Jointly Develop Oil and Gas

Iraq and Kuwait have formed a joint committee to explore ways of cooperation in the fields of oil and natural gas. Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Al-Ghadban announced it on Sunday.
He said that the most important one among the future cooperation aspects is supplying Kuwait with Iraqi natural gas.
Iraq wanted to cooperate with the Kuwaiti private firms in developing oil fields in Iraq, such as the "Seibah" field in the southern city of Basra.
The Minister said that a meeting is expected within the next few weeks to discuss several issues being prepared by the joint committee.
